[[Image:Hayate Usui.jpg|thumb|Hayate Usui]]
{{nihongo|'''Hayate Usui'''|碓氷 早矢手|Usui Hayate}} is a professional [[Mixed Martial Artist]] and Pro [[Shooto]] fighter. From [[Kanagawa Prefecture]], [[Japan]], he now lives and trains in [[Tokyo]] at [[Wajitsu Keishukai]]'s [[RJW]] (Real Japanese Wrestling) and [[Tokyo HQ]].

Usui debuted in kickboxing six years ago, fighting in [[J-Network]]. He started [[Mixed martial arts|MMA]] 6 years ago, joining [[Wajitsu Keishukai]] [[(WK)]] Sougo. He was inspired to fight when one day, he saw one of his classmates from elementary school fighting in [[Shooto]]. He gave MMA a try because it looked cool and interesting. Kickboxing has many restricting rules, but MMA has considerably less, which appealed to him. A fighter could also grow bigger and stronger by training grappling. He now trains as a pro, fighting in Professional [[Shooto]], and [[GCM]]/ [[WK]] sponsored events.

One of his goals is to surpass training partner [[Hideki Kadowaki]], and although maybe a dream, someday [[Caol Uno]]. He also hopes to have more fight opportunities outside Japan.

Memorable quote: "I want to break a rock in my fist."
